What's Included in This Service

Interior carpentry includes installing baseboards along walls, door and window casings, crown molding at ceiling lines, and specialty trim like chair rails or picture molding. In Chester homes, this work often involves matching existing profiles or upgrading to more detailed styles that add character to updated spaces.

Each piece of trim is measured and cut to fit your walls and corners precisely. Mitered corners are fit tightly, and coped joints are used where profiles meet at inside corners for a seamless look. MG Custom Homes uses finish-grade nailers and adhesive to secure trim without splitting, and all nail holes are filled, sanded, and prepped for paint or stain. Built-in details like fireplace mantels or window seats are constructed with the same attention to joinery and finish quality.

The final phase includes caulking gaps between trim and walls, sanding any rough edges, and priming or staining as specified. Hardware like shelf brackets or decorative corbels is installed securely, and all surfaces are wiped clean before the space is turned over to you. The result is trim work that looks sharp and stays tight as your home settles over time.

Key Benefits of This Service

Chester homeowners often ask about matching existing trim, paint versus stain finishes, and how long trim installation takes. These answers cover the most common questions about materials and process.

Can you match trim profiles already in my home?
Yes. Existing trim can be matched by measuring profiles and sourcing matching stock, or by custom milling new pieces if the profile is no longer available. Samples are compared to ensure a consistent look.
What's the difference between paint-grade and stain-grade trim?
Paint-grade trim uses materials like MDF or finger-jointed pine, which are smooth and cost-effective when painted. Stain-grade trim uses solid hardwood with visible grain, finished with stain and clear coat to show the wood's natural character.
How long does trim installation take?
Most trim projects are completed in a few days to a week, depending on the number of rooms and complexity of profiles. Crown molding and wainscoting take longer due to cutting and fitting time.
Do you install wainscoting and paneling?
Yes. Wainscoting, beadboard, and decorative paneling are installed with consistent spacing, level top rails, and seamless joints. Panels are secured to wall studs and finished to match your chosen style.
Can trim work be added to older homes in Chester?
Absolutely. Older homes often benefit from updated trim that adds detail without changing the home's character. Trim profiles are selected to complement the home's era and architectural style.

Quality trim work finishes a room with clean lines and lasting durability, whether you're updating one space or refreshing your entire home. With careful fitting, solid materials, and precise installation, your trim will look as good in ten years as it does the day it's installed.
